A manhunt is continuing for the suspect after the shooting at Brown University, in Rhode Island.<\/p>\n
The Providence-based university remained in lockdown hours after the attack in a building where students were taking exams.<\/p>\n
Local mayor Brett Smiley said late yesterday that officials do not believe there is any “specific ongoing threat” from the suspect.<\/p>\n
But police and other law enforcement agencies, with 400 personnel deployed, are searching the area.<\/p>\n
A shelter-in-place order for the campus and surrounding neighbourhood remains in place.<\/p>\n
“The shelter-in-place allows [law enforcement] to do their
\nwork in the first phase of the investigation,” Smiley said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Streets around the campus were packed with emergency
\nvehicles and security was heightened around the city as the gunman, who has not yet been
\nidentified, was sought.<\/p>\n
Agents from the Federal Bureau of
\nInvestigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
\nExplosives are working with local and state police on the
\ninvestigation.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A manhunt is continuing for the suspect after the shooting at Brown University, in Rhode Island.
